How long does it take to receive payments?

As smaller organisations, we know how important it is that you aren't waiting for your funds to arrive. With this in mind, we try to get your donations to you as quickly as possible.

Donations take approximately 2 - 3 weeks to reach your account. We’ll send you a notification email telling you when we have deposited the donation into your bank account; you can find information about pending payments in the ‘My Donations’ section of your Localgiving charity account.

If the donation qualifies for match funding, this element will usually be paid around the same time as the donated amount, but may sometimes arrive as a separate payment.

If Gift Aid is claimed on the donation, this is paid once it’s been processed by HMRC which can take up to 6 weeks.
